Not Alone

Sometimes I am overwhelmed

By the twists and turns of my road

I feel alone

Insignificant

Stumbling in the dark.

But I am reminded

I am never alone

I don’t have to be afraid

I am significant

And I am not lost in the dark.

Overwhelm is only temporary

And can be overcome

In a matter of moments

For I am led 

By the One

Who watches over me

And He brings wisdom

And clarity.

So I sit at His feet

And trust

That He will lead me home

I trust

He will keep me strong

I trust

He will light my path

And make smooth

The jagged rocks

Cutting my feet.

The blood of my soles 

Soaks the ground

When I trust in myself

But when I trust Him

He orders my steps

And heals my wounds.

My mistakes

Become lessons

My wounds

Become scars

My scars

Become victories

And under His leadership

My soul

Becomes whole.

    Thank you Otiti. I read this and glorify God Almighty, El Shaddai. He who is always there; guiding, lighting, and protecting our ways.

      Hiiii, my author! Yes, so true! Even when we don’t feel it or think it can be possible, God is always there and He’s never too far away to flood us with His love and presence!

      Thank you for being here. 🙂

      Heeey, Annita! Thank you so much! It’s funny how you write something, read it years later, and it ministers to you all over again. So much to discover about our identity in Christ on a daily basis!
